All of the artwork in this collection is guaranteed 100% authentic and genuine
as created by TVC for King Features Syndicate in London England during late 1967
through 1968. This collection is being offered Exclusively and Only
Here atwww.BeatleBay.com!!!
Many of the pieces are very rare, extreme examples, that seldom surface for
sale. There are many examples of hand painted art cels, hand drawn art cel
drawings and even examples of ultra rare original production backgrounds!
Each piece is either hand painted or hand drawn and copyright King Features
Subafilms Limited, London, England UK 1968. This project was headed up by
KFS veteran Al Broadax, who already had a long running hit TV cartoon show
of The Beatles during the early years of Beatlemania simply calledThe
Beatles!

The creation of this movie and the artwork that followed involved many steps.
We will give you a quick summary of how cels, drawings and backgrounds were
created: TVC consisted of several dozen animators along with a production
team. Heinz Edelmann was the art director and had final say of how each of
the Beatles and each of the characters in the film looked and acted. It
was Heinz who created a master set of characters for each of the animators to
use to create all the drawings and cels from. The process to create
a production art cel is as follows... first the animator would draw the
character on a blank sheet of white paper. These are called animation
drawings. Once the drawing on paper was finalized, the animator
would then overlay the drawing sheet with a sheet of clear acetate (or celluloid
sheet) and then using a fine point black ink pen would outline the character.
The animator would also make notes along the peg hole side of the celluloid
sheet which identified where in the movie this art cel was to be used.
Once the outline was finished, the animator would then turn the celluloid
sheet over and paint in the different sections in whatever colors were to be
used for that character. So a finished art cel has a character that has
been created using both sides of the clear celluloid sheet; the black
outline of the character is on the front side and the painting of the colors is
on the reverse side! A very cool process!! Once the production
watercolor hand painted backgrounds were created, these clear celluloid
sheets were overlaid onto the backgrounds and then filmed. A very tedious
process compared to today's Computer Generated Imaging! The making of an
animated film using hand painted art cels with hand painted backgrounds ended in
the 1980s with the invent of CGI.

Most of these art cels and drawingswere
sold in stores such as Hallmark in late 1969 and during1970 in cardboard matted
16" x 20" frames which normally contained 1, 2 or 3 art cels or one
drawing. When the film was finished, all of the original artwork
that wasn't wanted and kept by some of the original animators or the production
team, were all packaged for retail sale to the general public.
Whichever cels didn't overlap normally went into the cardboard matting, usually
2 sometimes 3 or more. Adhered to the back of this frame was one of King
Features Subafilms Ltd. Certificates of Authenticity (COAs). These
measured approx 6" x 8" and featured a round gold foil sticker on the bottom
right side of this certificate which stated "ONE OF A KIND ORIGINAL ART From
The Full Length Cartoon Feature The Beatles Yellow Submarine - A Collectors
Treasure". These certificates were printed on parchment paper and are
included in some of the animation artwork in this collection. The matted
prints were then shrink-wrapped and sent out to retail stores such as Hallmark
worldwide. The rarest and most valuable cels and the largest ones and ones
that take up much of the 12" x 16" palette most of these art cels use.
A typical art cel is painted onto a 12" x 16" clear sheet of acetate which
almost always have one of the edges with peg holes for the animators to secure
their piece down. Many original drawings are on plain white paper sheets
that range from 12" x 16" to as large as 16" x 34" and these usually have
alignment peg holes too. There are also handwritten codes along that same
peg hole edge which identified the scene number and frame. We will
translate all of these codes for you in each items' description as much as
possible. Some of the easier codes are NWM for the Nowhere Man sequence;
SOT for Sea Of Time; SOM for Sea Of Monsters; SOS for Sea of Science; SOG for
Sea of Green. Some are even easier as BULLDOG was for the Hey Bulldog
sequences. The rarest and most sought after Yellow Submarine artwork from
the movie are the original backgrounds. The backgrounds were usually hand
painted using watercolor paint. Some original backgrounds are simply
incredible to behold!! Items are arranged for sale by
Animation Cels, Animation Drawings and Animation Backgrounds.

They were all hand-painted in London England from November 1967 through July
1968 by TVC (TV Cartoons) for King Features Subafilms Ltd. The movie premièred
July 16, 1968 at the London Pavilion in Piccadilly Circus London England.
All of the Beatles were present during the opening premiere of the movie.
It showed to rave reviews even though the actual Beatles had little to do with
the production of the film. The Fab Four would stop by the studios
from time to time to see how production was progressing, but didn't participate
on the day to day production of the film. The Beatles voices were
originally to be used but because of time constraints, they used others with
similar voices. However at the end of the actual film, The Beatles
themselves are actually shown live, talking and joking for about a minute before
John Lennon counts off "one, two, three, four" and the movie ends with the songAll
Together Now!!!

These art animation cels, drawings and production backgrounds have proven to be
a top notch blue chip investment over the years. Each piece is truly one
of a kind artwork from a by-gone era where movement in cartoons was created by
filming 16 hand painted pictures per second. Today this is achieved using
computers and CGI. Luckily the artwork from this animated feature
film was saved by Beatles fans like you and I back in 1969! ENJOY!

is another ultra rarity- this is an original hand painted watercolor production
background of Meanieland including 6 key cels from the 1968 major motion
picture!! This is a completely hand-painted watercolor
production background!! Production Backgrounds from the movie Yellow
Submarine are extremely rare to find, especially when they include the art cels
that were used with them in the movie!!! That makes this item beyond
Rare!!! Truly, an Ultra Rarity and one that rarely surfaces for sale to
the general public!!!Now is your
chance to add this incredible piece of original Yellow Submarine artwork to your
collection!!! The exact scene in the movie is "Attack 1, Scene 10,
Background # 9. You will see the original Production Background Watercolor
has the original animator's peg holes at the bottom and the piece is marked
"ATTACK I SC 10 B/9" at the very bottom edge of the piece!!!
Also the 6 original production art cels are marked on the bottom edges too, many
of them have "ATT I" for the Attack 1 sequence; "Sc10" or "Scene10" for
Scene 10!!! It's nearly an impossible feat today to find any original art
cels and their matching production background together!!!

This
original hand painted watercolor production background and 6 hand painted key
sequence cels were used twice in the movie, both within 18 seconds of each
other!!! This scene is when The Blue Meanies First Attacked
Pepperland at the beginning of the film! The first scene that this artwork
is used appears at approx. 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the film... after
the Head Blue Meanie gathered all his troupes together, he yells out "ANTI-MUSIC
MISSILE...FIRE!!!", which prompts a Mini Blue Meanie to pull the lever thus
firing the Anti-Music Missile (a large purple and blue colored globe) towards
Pepperland. The globe shoots through the sky and lands directly on
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (alias "The Beatles") who are playing on
the bandstand!!! Sgt Pepper's Band are trapped at that point in the movie
inside the globe!!! We have included a short clip from the film which
shows both scenes where this artwork was used.

The
first scene this background is usedis
at 2:45 into the film and utilizes 3 of the key cels on the production
background...the blue hole where the globe shoots out of is first covered up by
the large stone stalagmite and is surrounded by 2 large thorned bushes!!
The Head Blue Meanie is counting his troupes and he yells out "Anti Music
Missile", which prompts a Blue Meanie to pull the lever for the first time and
the stalagmite and one thorned bush move left while the larger thorned bush
moves right; thus revealing the blue hole for the first time! This
blue hole is where the large blue & purple colored globe, i.e. the "Anti-Music
Missile" is fired out of. The Head Blue Meanie then shouts out "The
Dreadful Flying Glove" and The Flying Glove then makes a circle around the blue
hole on this production background then exits. The second scene this
background is usedis at 3:03 into the film where The Head Blue Meanie now
yells out "Splendid, Today Pepperland Goes Blue-ie... FIRE!", then the Blue
Meanie on the right side pulls the lever again and the purple and blue colored
globe (anti music missile) shoots out of the hole aimed directly at Sgt Peppers
Band in Pepperland!!! This starts the first attack on Pepperland!!!

The
hand-painted watercolor production background itself measures approximately 12"
by 20"; the background is in Excellent condition except the right edge has a
slight fold and a small edge tear. Each of the cels are on uncut acetate
sheets which measure approx 12.5" by 16". Overall everything is in Very
Good to Excellent condition. Some of the acetate sheets that the art cels
are painted on have some edge damage, but these do not interfere with the art
cels themselves! These are ready to be matted & framed into one incredible
display piece!!!Additional
pictures available upon request. We
guarantee this item is a 100% authentic hand-painted production background
from the 1968 motion picture and each art cel is a key sequence cel that was
used on this background!

Item
YSAC003:The
Beatles 1968 original Art Animation Hand-Painted Watercolor Psychedelic
Production Background fromTHE
SEA OF MONSTERSfrom
the 1968The Beatles Yellow
Submarinemotion picture!!! Offered
is an original art animation hand-painted production background from the 1968
major motion picture! Original watercolor backgrounds are as
rare as hens teeth! The original production background pieces typically
weren't saved like the art cels were, plus there were dozens/hundreds of
cels produced for every background created for the movie... they are that
rare!!! This background is no exception and is a terrific
psychedelic original example of hand-painted one-of-a-kind artwork from the
movie we all love!!

This piece came directly from Al Brodax and it’s a really cool hand-painted
production background fromThe Sea
of Monsterssequence! In
the movie this background is utilized where the yellow submarine stops in the
middle of the screen, and a bunch of funny items pop in-and-out of the submarine
during this scene. You can easily locate this background in the scene because
there's a section that looks like a 'Red Fish Hook' on the right side of the
background sheet... if you stand back you'll see where we mean... this is the
area where the camera focuses it's attention during the 10 second stretch in the
movie this background was used. The background measures
approximately 17” wide by 12.5” high and has peg holes attached at the top edge
with cloth tape; The background is marked “MONS” and “SC 8” handwritten in
white pencil which stands for theSea
of Monsters,Scene 8.
This scene appears approximately 37min 45sec into the film and this background
was used for about 10 seconds in the film. The submarine cels that
originally were used on top of this background were quite varied and we’ve seen
several of them over the years. See below for 3 actual stills from the
movie. If you have one of these submarine cels that was originally
used with this background, then by adding this background you'd have what is
called a Master Key-sequence cel/background Setup!! A Master Key Setup is when
an original production background is matted with an original art cel from the
same sequence in the film; they are quite rare and highly sought after by
collectors!

The background is in Very Good+ to Excellent condition. Just right of
center in the piece, there is a small circular blemish about 3mm in diameter…
it’s been painted over by the original artists, but when we checked the scene in
the movie where this background is used, you can actually see the blemish in the
film!! So it’s 100% proof positive this piece was used in the final
production ofThe Sea of Monsters
Sequence # 8! If you look at the last screen shot we've added below, you
can actually see this 3mm blemish on camera... it's right below the submarine's
bottom hatch!!

We will
also include an original Letraset Yellow Sub decal art cel with the sale of this
item! The Letraset cel is 2.25" long and on it's own 12.5" x 16"
clear acetate sheet... Keep in mind that the value of this lot is the
handpainted watercolor background!! Not in the Letraset Yellow Submarine
art cel!!! The submarine is not a hand painted art cel, it's a decal
that was used by King Features studio at the time so they wouldn't have to keep
repainting the same submarine in the same pose every time a submarine was needed
in the film. So they had these sheets of Letraset Decals made up to
use in the film. It's still a production used art cel and it's still
Very Cool BUT it's not a hand painted art cel.

Below are
3 still shot photos from the actual movie showing this background as it was used
in the production of the film. As you can see, the action centers around
the right center area of the background, right near that 'red colored hook'...

We guarantee this art cel is completely hand-inked and hand-painted in
London England from November 1967 through July 1968 by TVC (TV Cartoons) for
King Features Subafilms Ltd. The
Beatles Yellow Submarine motion picture premièred July 16, 1968 at the London

voices. However at the end of the actual film, The Beatles themselves are
actually shown live, talking and joking for about a minute before John Lennon
counts off "one, two, three, four" and the movie ends with The Beatles song "All
Together Now"!!!

These art animation cels, drawings and production backgrounds have proven to be
a top notch blue chip investment over the years. Each piece is truly one
of a kind artwork from a by-gone era where movement in cartoons was created by
filming 16 hand-painted cartoons per second. Today this is achieved using
computers and CGI. Luckily the artwork from this animated feature
film was saved by Beatles fans like you and I back in the day! This
one-of-a-kind artwork will be accompanied with BeatleBay's Letter of
